Hi, Im looking for information about the national anthem of Egypt.

Who wrote the Egyptian national anthem (lyrics and music)?

When was the national anthem of Egypt officially adopted?

Please add any valuable information like links to anthem’s mp3, video, lyrics, free sheet music etc.

The National anthem of Egypt is “Bilady, Bilady, Bilady” which means in English “My Homeland, My Homeland, My Homeland”.

Egypt’s anthem lyrics were written by Younis-al QADI and the music was written by Sayed DARWISH.

Adopted 1979; After The Signing Of The 1979 Peace With Israel, Egypt Sought To Create An Anthem Less Militaristic Than Its Previous One; Sayed DARWISH, Commonly Considered The Father Of Modern Egyptian Music, Composed The Anthem.

Chorus:

My homeland, my homeland, my homeland,

You have my love and my Heart.

My homeland, my homeland, my homeland,

You have my love and my Heart.

Egypt! O mother of all lands,

you are my hope and my ambition,

And above all people

Your Nile has countless graces

 

Chorus

 

Egypt! Most precious gem,

A blaze on the brow of eternity!

O my homeland, be for ever free,

Safe from every enemy!

 

Chorus

 

Egypt, land of bounties

You are filled with the ancient glory

My purpose is to repel the enemy

And on God I rely

 

Chorus

 

Egypt, noble are thy children.

Loyal, and guardians of the reins.

Be we at war or peace

We will sacrifice ourselves for you, my country.

 

Chorus
